Abstract
This study aims to provide knowledge in order to save electricity consumption. The use of electrical energy is recorded at KWH meters. Saving electricity means limiting the use of electrical energy according to need. The use of electrical energy is based on the use of electrical power. Technically, this dimmer serves to regulate the use of electrical power. Some electrical equipment has been equipped with dimmers to regulate the operation of the equipment in accordance with the user's want, yet there are still many electrical equipment that is not equipped with dimmers. This is a problem in the efforts to save electricity. The method used in this study is applying passive components in electricity such as inductors, capacitors and resistors. These passive components are arranged to be used as filter circuits. With a 21 mH inductor with an air core, Farad's 12.5 micro capacitor, and 4.7 ohm resistor can be made as a passive filter that is installed before electric loads. The use of this filter circuit can save the use of electricity up to 15% at a load current of 2 amperes. Thus, electricity bill payments can be reduced by up to 15%. In the future, this research can be continued to improve the efficiency of electricity consumption by modifying passive filters.
